Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

3(x+2)=12

3(x+2)/3=12/3 (First, divide by 3 from both sides.)

12/3 (Solve.)

12/3=4

x+2=4

x+2-2=4-2 (Then, subtract 2 from both sides.)

4-2 (Solve.)

4-2=2

x=2

Therefore, the final answer is x=2.

The current l, in a circuit varies inversely with the resistance, R. If the resistance is 12 when the current is 3, what is the

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given I varies inversely with R then the equation relating them is

I = $\frac{k}{R}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition R = 12 when I = 3

k = IR = 3 × 12 = 36

I = $\frac{36}{R}$ ← equation of variation

When I = 6, then

6 = $\frac{36}{R}$ , hence

R = $\frac{36}{6}$ = 6
